As I said, this software is not designed to give YOU a gerber file. The software is free so that you use their manufacturing services to have the PCB manufactured, it is all very cunning but then there is no such thing as a free lunch. It actually se

We received a .pcb file from an American customer. It is a Aluminum board, which should be easy one. But we can not open it with many SWs. We tried to open it by txt and haven't found the design software name. Our sales tried to contact the customer,

I have some files from the 1980's that I need to convert to Gerber. Some contain ASCII and some don't. There is a reference to Personal CAD Systems, Inc., PC-CAPS and PC-CARDS. Can anyone convert this or tell me if software is available to do it?

Mostly, you don't want to do that. Whoever designed the PCB should be able to produce a "pick and place report" or similar file that lists components by designator (R123) component value/type (100 Ohm 0805) and XY and rotation. If there's absolutel

I agree with Jon, that using Gerber data is a pain in the butt, but that doesn't answer your question about what software to use. CircuitCAM, VALOR, UniCAM (now Tecnomatix), and GC Place are the more popular third party software packages that deal d

We're working on bringing more and more of our SMT programming offline and the latest things are rotations and package vs. land verification. Is there software out there that will allow me to import a XY data file (Pick and place centroid data) into
